Alumni

Together, we can close the Opportunity Divide

When you graduate from Year Up, you join a nationwide alumni network called the National Alumni Association (NAA) – all Year Up graduates are members of the NAA. The NAA is made up of leaders committed to lift while they climb and change the narrative of young adults in America. The alumni vision is a collaborative partnership between Year Up alumni and staff, focused across three key areas that we refer to as the alumni ACT.

We’re (still) here for you

Year Up is still here to help you reach your potential – no matter how long ago (or how recently) you graduated. As Year Up’s alumni resources grow, Year Up is growing to better help the NAA, too!
